ADAPTED FROM DURING THE SNOWSTORM
BY MOBAO FEIBAO
A night in the wooden cabin!
We're not sleeping here.
I booked it for you to take a nap.
Isn't it too much of a waste?
Your eyes are red.
I haven't really slept
after the game.
Take a nap.
Ten minutes.
Wake me up in ten minutes.
Don't rush it.
We'll head out once you've slept enough.
What time is it?
It's past 12 a.m.
Did you sleep well?
It was perfect.
Let's head out once I reply
to my mentor's email.
Okay.
Do you want to take a shower?
You won't be able to shower
until we get home tomorrow.
Okay.
Go ahead with your work.
Is it here?
Yes,
there is no light pollution here.
The stars will appear
once the sky clears up.
Are we going to wait forever
if it doesn't clear up?
It's all set. Come and see.
It looks amazing even to the naked eye.
Won't you see it?
I got a message. Go ahead.
Okay.
What's going on? He's so mysterious.
The night we first met,
the band in the bar performed a song
several times in a row.
Do you remember that?
Yes, "Love and Shine".
Think about the first line.
The first line?
It's for you.
I don't have much to offer.
Thank you
for bringing me back to snooker.
Thank you for entrusting your future
to me,
a guy who doesn't have a steady future
nor a home.
How's the telescope working?
Stop pretending.
You're trying to make me cry.
What's so funny?
What should I do? I don't want to go home.
Will you…
come back to China?
If you don't want to,
wait for a year or two.
Let me talk to my parents first.
-Then--
-I'll go back.
I'll go back.
I'll adapt to your life.
Yin Guo.
I'll follow your lead.
Let me handle
the tough part.
Let's set off at dawn.
Sleep for an hour.
What's so funny?
I just feel…
We look like we're eloping
just as I imagined as a kid.
When you were a kid, you weren't studying,
but thinking about eloping?
Don't change the subject.
You know…
Two people
on an island
in a no man's zone alone.
Outside the car…
So the windows do get fogged up.
You know, when I first watched Titanic,
there was a scene
when they were in the car
and the windows started getting fogged up.
I didn't believe it.
Why do I remember
something naughty about it?
Are they still asleep?
I think so.
Pack up.
Let me get changed.
Did you get eloped?
Be serious.
Are you upset
that your girlfriend is leaving?
I'm taking her to the airport.
Let's talk later.
Fine, stop talking to me.
Don't say a word.
Save all your time for her.
Ten more minutes?
Do you want a cup of coffee?
I don't have anything to say.
For what?
Something for the parting.
Do you have something to tell me?
We have WeChat.
We will only be out of touch
for a dozen hours during the flight.
Otherwise,
we can talk anytime.
That's true.
Let's go to the laundry room again.
Do you have laundry to do?
Laundry?
Now?
I want to see it again.
Next time.
Let's see it
next time
we're here.
Okay?
It's not the same.
You confessed to me
for the first time there.
All right.
It's not like we won't meet again.
Cheer up.
What's wrong?
You're leaving, but you fought?
You're so silent.
Let's go.
Your clothes.
Did Yin Guo leave?
Won't you see her off?
I'm not that insensitive.
She doesn't need me now.
You've been taught well.
They reminded me
of that morning
when I left home to come here.
I wanted to talk to my parents,
but didn't know what to say.
Everything seemed casual.
I sat on the chair
and waited for the time to pass
so that I could leave on time.
But only when I stepped out
of the door with my luggage
and sat in the car
did I feel sad about the fact…
that I was leaving.
I want to take a photo.
Just a second.
It's blurry. I was in a rush.
-I…
-It's okay.
I'll send you a high-definition photo
once I come back.
Let's go.
Give it to me.
I got this.
Your luggage is broken.
It may break if we don't wrap it up.
Let me.
Hold this.
Passport.
Let's go.
You should get going.
One more minute.
Do you regret
starting a relationship overseas?
Yes.
You should have pursued me
after you returned to China.
So should I just keep texting you
until I return?
Wouldn't you be scared
that I was only teasing you?
All right.
All right.
Take it.
There will be more
on the plane.
I don't have so many tears.
Let's not miss your flight.
I'm going.
Go ahead.
I'm going.
Make sure you miss me.
Okay.
Go.
Safe trip.
Delete the remark
of my WeChat name.
REMARKS, TAGS
LIN'S GUO
Is my WeChat name too long?
No.
Right.
It shows above the dialogue box.
Yes.
I'm leaving for real.
Okay.
Send me
that coffee again.
Is the signal bad?
I remember this emoji by heart.
I thought you didn't want to talk to me
when you first used it.
We're taking off.
I'm switching off my phone.
I'll talk to you when I arrive.
My name is Yin Guo.
I only know you're 27 years old.
Six years older than me.
My cousin and I go to the same school.
We are both seniors.
I've been here on a trip before
and I've signed up for the 9-Ball Open,
so I came two months early with him.
You're finally back.
Why was your phone off?
The battery died.
I'm leaving.
I was worried I wouldn't see you.
Should I call a taxi?
No need.
I got one.
I just saw her off.
It's a bad time.
I have nothing against you.
Tell me what you need.
It's nothing.
I just realized that
I still don't have your contact on WeChat.
I'm not forcing you.
Think about it.
This is Mr. He's number.
These years,
he rarely contacts anyone.
His health condition is getting worse.
Call him up and say hi.
I've got to go.
Stay in touch.
I hope you'll change your mind.
Since you're sober,
I have something to tell you.
I…
I'm going to have surgery on my arm.
It's an old problem.
I haven't arranged for it.
I'm just worried about Dongxin City.
I've been working relentlessly
ever since Mr. He
entrusted the club to me.
Dongxin City has a long history,
unlike Bei City,
which is held up by Meng Xiaodong alone.
If you want to take a break for a year,
it should be fine.
Do you think that's fine?
The only problem is…
the new leader may adopt
a different ideology.
After all, you're…
You're Mr. He's disciple.
Mr. He set up the club from scratch.
The members
respect you
and you can mediate conflicts.
Has he retired?
It has been a long time.
In that case,
you need to find someone
with enough seniority
to take over.
That's exactly
what I'm thinking.
This person
must have authority,
agree on your plans for the club,
and know the rules
and the training programs.
After all, these things…
I've talked to Mr. He.
We'd like you to take over
while I'm gone.
That's partly why I'm here.
Do me a favor.
The surgery can't wait anymore.
There must be someone better than me.
That's only a secondary option.
You're our best choice.
LAUNDRY ROOM
Did you see Jiang Yang?
He came to see you.
It's like how it was a few months ago
when no one was here.
Not Yin Guo.
Not the club members.
Yes.
Everybody left.
Now I feel lost.
Sometimes, I wake up
in the middle of the night,
looking at the trees outside
and wondering where I am.
I feel like a wanderer.
But it always
makes me feel better to call my parents.
I have a cousin
just like you.
Her parents died early.
She said
that she became an orphan
once her parents passed away.
Her home ceased to exist.
I guess…
only those
who've been through it would get it.
The endless winter
should be over.
Isn't it already early spring?
